Planacy vs. Visma Bop – Compare FP&A systems

Yes, but Planacy is much more than an alternative for simple budgeting and forecasting. Planacy is a modern and specialised FP&A platform for organisations looking to automate and develop the entire process of financial planning, analysis, and reporting.

For organisations that have outgrown Visma BoP and need support for, for example, advanced driver-based planning, rolling forecasts, scenario planning, cash flow, and integrated analysis, Planacy is a natural next step.

Visma BoP is an older budget and forecasting module within Visma Public Business Suite. Planacy is a modern FP&A platform with significantly broader support for financial planning and analysis.

Planacy supports, among other things, complex and driver-based planning, dynamic and rolling forecasts, scenario planning, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow as well as integrated reporting and analysis.

It is unclear how long Visma BoP will continue to be supported, although no public information can be found from Visma confirming that Visma BoP is officially end-of-life.

If you are using BoP today, we therefore recommend that you check the product's future roadmap directly with Visma. Regardless of formal product status, it may also be wise to evaluate alternatives if the system no longer meets the organisation's requirements for functionality, user-friendliness, automation, and analytics.

It depends on what you mean. Planacy is built with the user in focus, and the system is therefore very user-friendly and straightforward for multiple people in the organisation to get to know and understand.

Planacy is also designed for broader and more advanced FP&A work than basic budgeting and forecasting. The platform supports, among other things, complex driver-based models, scenarios, rolling forecasts, cash flow forecasts, decentralised planning, as well as integrated reporting and analysis.

This makes Planacy especially relevant for medium-sized and large organisations with more extensive planning processes.

Yes. Planacy can replace Visma BoP as a system support for budgeting and forecasting while also giving the organisation the opportunity to significantly develop the working method further.

The exact setup depends on your processes, data sources, and system environment, but Planacy can integrate with existing ERP, BI, HR, and other business systems.

No. Planacy is system-independent and can be integrated with the organisation's existing system environment.

This means that you can modernise financial planning and analysis without having to replace all the other systems you use at the same time.

Yes. Planacy is suitable for both companies and public sector organisations and can handle complex organisational structures, decentralised planning, personnel budgeting, and operational-specific drivers.

For municipalities and other public organisations looking to move on from older budget and forecasting support, Planacy can thus be a modern and flexible alternative.

Planacy is developed with a focus on enabling FP&A teams, managers, and other budget holders to easily work directly within the platform.

This is especially relevant for organisations looking to reduce dependence on controllers in the ongoing process and have more parts of the business contribute to budgeting, forecasting, and follow-up themselves.

Yes. Planacy supports the entire FP&A process including financial planning, scenario planning, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow forecasts, HR and personnel planning, as well as integrated reporting and analysis.

This is a key difference for organisations that want to move from a limited budgeting and forecasting tool to a more complete FP&A platform.

Planacy is better suited when the organisation needs a more modern, flexible, and advanced system support for financial planning and analysis.

This is especially true when you want to work more driver-based, forecast continuously, analyse scenarios, automate manual work, involve more users, and gather planning, reporting, and analysis in a cohesive FP&A process.
